I know the salaries need to be close, but I negate that deal too. The question is will they become more of the Denver Pistons and wiil become the Detroit Nuggets?

With that being said I would rather Joe deal with a couple of teams and maybe deal 2 starters to two different teams and get something back and not send three of them away with Rip being the only legitimate holdover from the starter core.

If more than 2 starters are involved to get Carmello then I think we need to get a 3rd team involved because you don't want too many Nuggets. With that said if the Nuggets were in the East then they would have at least been getting out of the 1st round.

If they are desperate for a PG and to get CB back in Denver then thats something that could work to Dumars advantage. Maybe something like CB,Maxiel for Mello and Atkins.

Be tough to lose CB but in that scenerio Stucky would be given all the breathing room he could ever need and we could unleash Prince off the bench and see what he can do. You can't be tentative if you are trying to make an impact off the bench. Then Maxiel's departure would open up a spot for Amir and pick #29 can be the new HVC. Not to mention that we get a 3-pt bomber in Atkins. All depends on if Stucky is ready.

I probably would, although I agree Iverson has maybe 2.5 years left anywhere near what he was.

Iverson is as old or younger than Billups and Sheed, and Melo is younger than Tay.

Iverson is older than Billups. I see no point in getting older. I wouldn't like to see Joe make any trades that only benefit us for the next year or two. I'd like him to make us younger so we have a solid future.

AI would also have to be a two for one swap salary wise. Love AI, but is he better than CB & Rip combined?
